3.0 INSTALLATION
It is important that your new monitor is in stalled and operated in accordance with the
instructions provided in this manual. Failure to do so could result in poor product
performance and may invalidate your warranty.
When planning the installation the following points must be considered:
• Your AWM monitor is sunlight viewable and visible in direct sunlight..
• If temperatures exceed the normal temperature operating range, the display could
overheat and begin to blackout due to the limitations of TFT LCD technology.
• In order to minimize the chances of a malfunction, the following precautions should be
taken during installation:
• The monitor should be installed in an area where there is proper and adequate
ventilation (min. 6 inches / 15cm clearance) . If it is possible to cool the area behind
the monitor, it will significantly reduce the risk of a malfunction.
• The monitor should be mounted at an angle to the sun. We do not recommend
mounting the unit in a flat plane, which increases the surface area exposed to the
sun and leads to increased heat absorption.
IMPORTANT:
Your AWM Series Monitor is only waterproof from the front. To maintain
watertight integrity, the monitor must be flush mounted ensuring that the rear casing
is enclosed in a watertight enclosure.
The AWM Series Marine Monitor is design ed to be mounted in two configurations:
VESA75 / VESA100 MOUNT
The Green Marine AWM Series Marine Monitors are compatible with VESA75 and VESA100
mounts. By installing the monitor with a compatable VESA mount the user can change
the monitors angle to improve viewability. Before the display is mounted, power and signal source
should be connected and monitor should be held at approximate mounting location to check viewing
angle for satisfactory picture quality.
